“…), natural space represents a (more or less) continuous land surface, raising the question as to how exactly the human mind might structure it into entities [10], [41]. In [23], comparing indoor and outdoor settings, the authors identified further distinguishing structural elements with possible relevance to the mountaineering context. Indoor environments are essentially three-dimensional, while street networks are described in terms of two-dimensional concepts.…”

“…However, with few exceptions, most research on route directions has focused on urban environments: outdoor (e.g., campus areas [12], neighbourhoods [2], downtown areas [19], cities [13]), indoor (e.g., complex buildings [46], airports [37]), transitional spaces [23]. As observed in [6], one of the few works on non-urban space, extending the range of studies to natural environments remains an important research challenge.…”

Abstract. Route directions research has mostly focused on urban space so far, highlighting human concepts of street networks based on a range of recurring elements such as route segments, decision points, landmarks and actions. We explored the way route directions reflect the features of space and activity in the context of mountaineering. Alpine route directions are only rarely segmented through decision points related to reorientation; instead, segmentation is based on changing topography. Segments are described with various degrees of detail, depending on difficulty. For landmark description, direction givers refer to properties such as type of surface, dimension, colour of landscape features; terrain properties (such as snow) can also serve as landmarks. Action descriptions reflect the geometrical conceptualization of landscape features and dimensionality of space. Further, they are very rich in the semantics of manner of motion.

“…The authors stated that the thermal comfort of bus shelters is as important as that of buses themselves in improving the quality of the experience of bus travel. (Kray et al, 2013) defined the spaces, generally located between indoor and outdoor, and can be neither consistently classified as being indoors nor being outdoors and that share property with either category, as transitional spaces. Another similar definition is transition zones in (Winter, 2012).…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The navigation of pedestrians can be regarded as their movements from one unoccupied space to another unoccupied and connected space. These movements generally occur in three types of environments: indoor, outdoor, and semi-bounded (top-bounded, and/or side-bounded) spaces. While the two former types of spaces are subject to most of the attention, the latter (semi-bounded) also presents a valuable impact on the navigation behaviour. For example, top-bounded environments (e.g. roofs, shelters, etc.) are very popular for pedestrian navigation since a top structure can offer protection from harsh weather, rain, or strong sun. However, such semibounded spaces are completely missing in current navigation models and systems. This is partly explained by the fact that modelling the space, which is by defining a three-dimensional boundless and extensible component (mainly out of the indoor environment), is a very challenging task. In this paper, we propose a structure-based approach for top-bounded space extraction in the built environment, relying on 3D models. Thanks to the rapid expansion and availability of 3D city models, our approach can help to account for such type of spaces in 3D pedestrian navigation systems.</p>

In spatial science and urban applications, “space" is presented by multiple disciplines as a notion referencing our living environment. Space is used as a general term to help understand particular characteristics of the environment. However, the definition and perception of space varies and these variations have to be harmonised. For example, space may have diverse definitions and classification, the same environment may be abstracted/modelled by contradicting notions of space, which can lead to inconsistencies and misunderstandings. In this paper, we seek to investigate and document the state-of-the-art in the research of “space” regarding its definition, classification, modelling and utilization (2D/3D) in spatial sciences and urban applications. We focus on positioning, navigation, building micro-climate and thermal comfort, landscape, urban planning and design, urban heat island, interior design and planning, transportation and intelligent space. We review 147 research papers, technical reports and on-line resources. We compare the presented space concepts with respect to five criteria—classification, boundary, modelling components, use of standards and granularity. The review inventory is intended for both scientists and professionals in the spatial industry, such as companies, national mapping agencies and governments, and aim to provide a reference to better understand and employ the “space” while working across disciplines.
